Rebirth of the Blind

There was no expected person at the gate of the city.

The half-foot-high accumulation of rainwater covered the long bluestone floor, making it difficult to see its original appearance. The street was empty, and the houses along the road were tightly closed. Zhu Yan could see the prosperity and splendor of this city in the past, but under the teasing of the heavens, this city, which was originally the richest city in the Ling Kingdom, slowly withered and withered under the helplessness of others.

Turning into the alley, you can see a piece of broken tiles, rafters and tiles.The rain poured down, and the muddy water melted into the half-foot-high water. Without a house that could shelter the wind and rain, it was natural that there was no owner inside, and it was completely decadent.

Although the oil-paper umbrella was propped up, the clothes were not exposed to the rain, but when the black boots stepped on it, the soles of the feet ushered in a biting cold, and the rain that was about to flood did not recede because of his identity.The soles of his feet were completely soaked, he didn't move, he stood there motionless, the convoy behind him stopped, and put waterproof things on the grain truck.

Mu Yangfeng came over, "Eighth Prince, let's go into the city, the city lord must not have time to welcome us." He pretended to be relaxed and replied, but Mu Yangfeng knew very well in his heart...

—he was afraid.

It has been raining for half a year, and the door of Qin Yu City is closed all day long, so the food storage must be stretched. How can the food they bring be enough for them to last for how long?It is completely impossible to wait for him to find out when the plague will break out and what symptoms may appear.

If things go on like this, this city, which was still prosperous half a year ago, will soon be wiped out by a decree, which will be a very big loss for Ling Guo.

Ling Qi didn't move, he stared blankly at the quiet street, when Mu Yangfeng was about to turn his face away and leave, he heard Ling Qi speak slowly, the whispered tone made Mu Yangfeng inexplicably feel that this People are regretting, "It used to be... this place was beautiful."

Yes, it used to be beautiful here.

Mu Yangfeng came here two years ago to pick medicinal materials. Even though he grew up in the capital, when he first saw the famous Qin Jian City, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, his eyes wide open It is as big as a gong, and I try to remember its prosperity.

Times have changed, things have changed, and people have changed. I didn't expect this place to decay so quickly and unexpectedly.

When the city lord didn't come out to receive them, the group ordered people to explore the road ahead many times before they found the city lord's mansion.

This is also a last resort.There was no one on the street, and no one answered the door. All they could do was to find a way.

The city lord remembered that today was the day when the envoys arrived after the attendants reported back. Hearing from the attendants that they were already waiting outside the door, the city lord didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he ran out to greet them in a panic.

When he opened the door, Mu Yangfeng saw the green beard and wet shoes on the city lord's face, and hurriedly saluted Ling Qi: "My lord, forgive me, I forgot the time, so..."

Ling Qi helped him up, "Are you Wu Shanyi, the lord of Qin Yucheng?"

"Return to the envoy, yes. The next official is Wu Shanyi. I feel very guilty for letting the envoy and his party come to the city lord's mansion alone. I just hope that the envoy can understand. Qin Jue has a lot of things now, and the next official Haven't slept in three days."

Song Shu, the fourth-rank official who followed, took a step forward, saluted Ling Qi and the city lord Wu Shanyi, and said, "City lord, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Gather the people to distribute."

The city lord glanced at the young Song Shu suspiciously, thinking that there were three envoys in total, and they must be the fourth-rank official Song Shu, "Come here, push all the grain to the rice warehouse, arrange a few to pack, and separate Deliver to every household."

"Lord City Lord?"

"Let the envoys work. Now those people don't go out, so even if they distribute food, they need to be sent to them by the city lord's mansion."

After the city lord finished speaking, he led them to the city lord's mansion.

Except for Ling Qi, Mu Yangfeng and Song Shu, the others who followed stayed outside the door.

The city lord poured a glass of cold water for Ling Qi full of apology, "The envoys are exhausted, and I don't want you to rest first, please forgive me." He poured a glass of water for Mu Yangfeng and Song Shu one by one, "eight Please forgive me, my lord, there is not much firewood available for the City Lord's Mansion."

Ling Qi directly took a sip and said expressionlessly, "Very good."

Knowing that the Eighth Prince meant that the water was good, the city owner was relieved a lot. "Eighth Prince, please allow your majesty to ask boldly, can Your Majesty find a way to solve Qin Yucheng's urgent need?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Your Majesty has already figured out how to deal with it. The most urgent thing is to wait for the rain to stop." Only when the rain stops can Qin Yucheng have hope of recovery.

Hearing Ling Qi's answer, the city lord was able to let go of a big stone in his heart.

"To tell you the truth, the Eighth Prince, Qin Yucheng won't last long. Seeing that winter will come in two months, the environment will only be more difficult than it is now, and there is not much firewood that can be stored in every household. Well, if the rain doesn't stop within half a month, the city of Qin Jian... will really be destroyed."

Swiping the rim of the cold glass with his fingertips, thinking about what the city lord said, he looked at Mu Yangfeng who was drinking water all the time, "How long has it been since the people in the city opened the door?"

Mu Yangfeng naturally felt the 'hot' eyes, put the teacup in his hand back to its original position, sat upright and listened to the city lord, after hearing the city lord say that those people hadn't gone out for two full months , Mu Yangfeng's casual look finally changed.In the astonishment of the city owner, he interjected: "You mean they haven't opened the door for two months?"

"Is there a problem?" Ling Qi asked.

Mu Yangfeng said solemnly: "Things are not good. City Lord, you'd better issue an order immediately so that they don't close the door anymore, otherwise, in a few days, the plague will be as fast as lightning. burst out."

Before the city lord returned to his soul, he saw Mu Yangfeng taking out a folded map from his bag, pointing to the location of Qinjue City, and said seriously: "Qinjue City is located in the north, and it belongs to the city all year round. Humid and cold. After the rain, this situation will become more and more serious. When the humidity exceeds a certain amount and it has been kept in a sealed state, the plague will definitely break out in an instant."

Perhaps it was because Mu Yangfeng spoke too seriously, and his words were too scary, even Ling Qi felt a little uneasy, let alone the city lord who is careful about the citizens.

The city lord almost shook his voice, and asked subconsciously: "Then what can be done to resolve it? If a plague breaks out in Qin Yucheng at this time, then... everything will be over."

"Why don't you order everyone to open the door right away! You must also open the windows at night!" Mu Yangfeng replied eagerly.

"Okay, okay, the city lord will go right away!"

Seeing that the city lord almost ran out, Ling Qi's eyes flashed with complicated thoughts, and he looked at Mu Yangfeng who put his burden on the ground and kept flipping through the books.

"Tell me honestly, isn't something bad?"

Mu Yangfeng raised his head, with a cold face, "If Cao Min guessed correctly, someone might have been infected with the plague. This situation should have erupted long ago."

"is it?"

Song Shu looked worriedly at the eighth prince who was deep in thought, and Mu Yangfeng who was buried in his book. His thoughts on Qin Jiancheng were only four words—not optimistic.

Hu Guang, the lord of Ji'an City, has also been bored recently. The imperial envoy has never explained his purpose of coming, and Kong Caimu's indirect attacks have made no progress.

Kicking away the woman who was sleeping beside him, he was naked and closed his eyes to rest his mind. After finally falling asleep, he felt a cold chill coming from his neck. He opened his eyes suddenly, and he could blur his vision even in the dark. He saw two figures standing in front of his bed, one of them was holding a cold dagger on his neck.

"Hero...Hero, please spare me! This city lord has a lot of money, as long as you don't hurt me, I can give you money that you can't spend in your lifetime!" He widened his eyes and wanted to look at the faces of those two people, but because it was too late, It was too dark to see at all.

"Hey, I didn't expect the city lord to be so rich, so why are you so stingy with this imperial envoy?"

"You are the imperial envoy!" Hu Guang never expected that the person standing on the edge of his bed was the imperial envoy, but who was the other person?He distractedly looked at the long figure of Xin Xin, not knowing why.

"Okay, I will make it clear that people don't speak dark words. Your Ji'an City official will not say a word, let alone reveal a word in front of His Majesty, but you have to press on it." The person beside him Open a piece of paper and take out an inkpad.

"What is written on it...?" Hu Guang's naked body was trembling, and the white paper could still be distinguished in the dark, but he had no way of knowing what was written on it.

"It's just a transaction. I will keep the matter of Ji'an City in my heart, and I will not reveal a word to others, but in the future, Ji'an City will pay [-]% of the gold to me every year. What do you think?"

"Don't think about it!" Hu Guang replied angrily, he would never let his wealth be handed over to others.Sixty percent!This man can really speak!

"Then don't blame me."

The dagger was a little deeper, and the skin felt tingling. After struggling for a while, Hu Guang stretched out his hand and pressed his fingerprint on the paper.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. I want to lend you 10 taels of gold for emergency. You don't mind, do you?"

"You deceive people too much!"

Ye Lin didn't care about Hu Guang's crying and howling, and directly touched Hu Guang's sleeping point.With this piece of paper, anything can be done.

"Master, it's done."

"En." The low voice replied, and he put the thing in his hand back to his waist in satisfaction.

Xia was a light sleeper, and when someone pushed open his door, he was already aware of it, "Who?"

"Your Majesty, the young master will follow the slave immediately, and His Majesty will join us in a while."

Xia didn't understand why she had to leave here so anxiously, and it should be night now, right?

Ye Lin didn't give him a chance to think, let alone pack up and salute, so he ran with him in his arms.

"Oops!"

Ye Lin continued to run forward, "Sir, what did you just say?"

"I...my jade pendant is still there!" Xia was very flustered, Wei Yan told him clearly what the jade pendant represented, it was the only thing that represented his identity!
